> This also is true for any message your server handles. It's only "true" because IMail forces it to be true, by applying the same retry cycle to all domains served by a single server, whether they are specific store-and-forward domains for which it acts as MX, or wildcard remote domains. There's little reason to have such a long retry cycle for mail from your local users, for example, but IMail forces you to do so if you use the same box for outbound mail. MS SMTP can be a very handy tool for this reason, as it allows you to set different retry cycles per virtual server. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
